Elastic APM 7.8.0 released
Blog post from Elastic
Elastic APM 7.8.0 introduces significant enhancements to improve application performance monitoring, including smarter service maps integrated with machine learning anomaly detection and customizable deployment tracking via the new Annotation API. The update emphasizes real user monitoring (RUM) by offering a dedicated Observability solution layer in the Maps app, enabling users to visualize website performance geographically. This visualization aids in identifying poorly optimized network connections and unexpected traffic sources. Additionally, the release includes out-of-the-box support for SqlClient in the .NET APM Agent, facilitating better visibility of SQL databases in service maps and distributed traces, crucial for diagnosing performance issues caused by inefficient SQL queries. Users can access Elastic APM 7.8.0 through Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud or download the Elastic Stack to start monitoring applications with APM agents.
